These royal snobs don't want to react with anybody.
What are the Noble Gases?
Radioactive decay occurs when
Unstable nuclei release energy or particles
Contains the most reactive metals.
What is Group 1
Why is nuclear fusion considered a promising future energy source?
It creates large amounts of energy from small atoms and produces less radioactive waste than fission
Contains two common metals, magnesium and calcium.
What is Group 2
During alpha decay, an atom loses:
The splitting of a large nucleus
. A radioactive sample starts with 120 grams. Half-life = 5 years. How much remains after 5, 10, and 15 years?
60g, 30g, 15g
Elements of this family can gain or lose 4 electrons when reacting with other elements. The head of this family is very important in the chemistry of life.
What is Group 14.
A sample has a mass of 200 grams. After 12 years, only 25 grams remain. How many half-lives occurred? What is the half-life?
3 half lives have occurred and this elements half life is 4 years.
